Sometimes adding a terracotta wall mural to our living room, where we can entertain friends, can be a fantastic idea because not only do we hear so many compliments, but it also happens to be a great talking point for a party. However, if you do not want to go to the mural, another option is to bet on a warm wall, honey color with a terracotta sponge effect, in the kitchen or in the living room, it creates a very cozy atmosphere.
To create an intimate atmosphere, using polished or glazed terracotta tiles for the bedroom or dining room floor is both an aesthetic and a useful option. Not only are these tiles available in many different shapes and shades, but they also help keep the area cool. Warm and traditional, these tiles add a charming and welcoming effect to the most used areas of the house. Depending on where you want to use terracotta in the house, you can choose from a variety of artifacts. Garden tiles and planters for the patio or living room, bowls and curios for the mantelpiece, figurines, lamps and masks on the balcony, the options are many. Terracotta’s timeless aesthetic appeal never dies and, in fact, it is relatively easy to maintain. Usually a weekly cleaning or wiping is enough. These artifacts add elegance and also age gracefully.
Terracotta also offers endless possibilities to enhance the beauty of a garden. The rustic reddish-brown hue of the natural terracotta complements the green color of the plants. Add small or large terracotta pots with some colorful plants and add a glazed terracotta gargoyle figurine or even a birdbath to a garden and voila. Equestrian or animal figurines in terracotta are also a popular choice for decorating the garden or even adding a cozy ethnic touch to the front door. These days, another popular option is to make the nameplate on the door in glazed terracotta in vibrant colors.
Whatever your requirement, terracotta is becoming an increasingly popular décor choice for both homeowners and designers of commercial spaces. The timeless beauty and aesthetic appeal of terracotta is something that will never go out of style.
